Abstract
A short description of the motivation for the content of the book is given in this chapter. It is explained that filter design for modern RF systems, as such, is not in its prime mainly due to the fact that system designers are convinced that nothing else but Butterworth and Chebyshev happened in the last seventy years. Even so, conversion the transfer function into a circuit is very frequently done in a most unfavorable way. We claim that much more attention is to be devoted to filter design in this area. Namely, it is a pity to use so advanced and expensive modern integrated circuit technology for so decadent filter solutions as we are, not rarely, seeing around. This chapter also tries to set a framework for the location and type of filters in modern RF systems while giving a short overview of the Gm-C and two-phase solutions which will be offered in the sequel.
